Volume & Turnover
Volume spiked sharply at 19:30 ET with a 5-minute volume of 153,481.1, confirming the breakout move to 0.7986. Notional turnover aligned with volume, showing no divergence. A quieter late-morning period at 07:00–08:00 ET showed weaker conviction.
Fibonacci Retracements
A 5-minute swing from 0.7842 to 0.8054 places key Fibonacci levels at 0.7934 (38.2%) and 0.7987 (61.8%). Price is currently hovering near the 61.8% level, suggesting potential consolidation or reversal.
Lombard/Tether may test the 0.8023–0.8054 range over the next 24 hours as a key inflection point. Investors should watch for volume confirmation on any retests of the 61.8% Fibonacci level and potential overbought RSI conditions. As always, sudden market shifts or macro events could disrupt the current bias.
